Fighting India Lose 4-8 To Japan To Crash Out Of AFC U-17 Asian Cup
India put up a brave fight before going down 4-8 against mighty Japan in their must-win last Group D match and crash out of AFC U-17 Asian Cup here on Friday. In a game of two halves, India clawed back into the match in the second half and gave Japan a real run for their money, before losing the match at the end. The Blue Colts came into the encounter needing to win, in order to stand a chance to qualify for the quarter-finals of the tournament, but that could not happen. India were forced to make one change to their starting XI, as Mukul Panwar was brought in as centre-back in place of the suspended Pramveer.
